Printer Problem

<P>
Dear ALL<BR>
I am having the Samsung printer series 1200.<BR>
Through SPAD I have configured it as "SAMS"<BR>
Device TYPE :- TWSAPWIN : MS Windows driver via SAPL<BR>
Device Class :- Standard Printer<BR>
Host spool access method:- F: Printing on frontend computer<BR>
Host printer :- __DEFAULT <BR>
The printing is OK<BR>
Though at SAPLPD it shows printing is done and the print is done<BR>
But the problem aries when i use the Same make printer SAmSung <BR>
but the series is 1100 with the same priter name "SAMS"<BR>
at SAPLPD it shows printing is done but nothing is printed.<BR>
Is i have to do some configuration.<BR>
or load the printer driver to the sap system.<BR>
How the driver can be loaded<BR>
any note crossponding to it<BR>
thanks in advance<BR>

Driver is not required to load into SAP.
Check Windows printing to SAMSUNG 1100 printer and confirm the status. As
you mentioned that in SAPLPD it showed printing means that no communication
between your local pC where SAPLPD is displayed to the SAMSUNG 1100 series
printer.
Test the interface connection between your local PC where SAPLPD is located
and the printer.

I had a printer problem, Printer is generating additional blank page with user Id and spool number=2E For few users only, my self also had a same problem=2E Its not generating the blank page in DEV and Q&T=2E it=92s persists in PRD=2E Device type is same in all servers

...check the printer properties at the user PC maybe it´s seted to print a "cover page" or "division page".

...try see the configuration at SAP in the tcode SPAD, on the page output attributes > SAP Cover Page... setting this all the users will print a extra page but you said that few users find this problem..?!?

If you´re using a network printer....

...I had passed this problem and at the print server the printer was seted to a print a "cover page" or "division page".

I have a printer problem, its printing additional page with User ID, SAP Id
and spool request. Most interesting thing is same printer its not generating
additional print in Development and test systems. It's happening in
production system only.

It appears that in your production system SPAD->Device settings you have a "Print cover page" check box marked hence produciton system is printing cover page. You can turn on/off cover pages per print device in using SPAD print device config TA.

Try to check what default paper is set on the printer itself. I also have encountered the same problem here, SAP assumes that the paper size printer must use is a letter size but the default setting on the printer is smaller than the letter size, so the print-out exceeds the paper. This might be the last recourse you will do. Just check first everything on SAP side.

Initially i got a request to activate sm printer which was already defined
at os and sap level.
i assigned correct spool server to them and then fired sm test print from
sap system .It is throwing the error :
Message from host spool:
enq: (FATAL ERROR): 0781-167 Could not get process credentials. Errno 2.
enq: errno = 2: A file or directory in the path name does not exist.
End of host spool message
Command used: /local/bin/sap/printing/sap_qprt stpr1sta 1
/usr/sap/A30/DVEBMGS30/data/000jp7JL.A30 INSVAA
Errors occurred processing this print request
Error during print request output. l_rc = 1
T
i raised sap message for that and i got the reply as ---

Dear Customer,

The error could be to incorrect permissions at executables on UNIX
level.

If you are using access method L under Unix you can try to run the
unix printing command at OS level to see if the result is the same.
The command is defined in parameter rspo/host_spool/print. See note
nota 15355

You can try to print with user <sid>adm.

As suggested by sap team I fired the command from os level and i got the
output as -

i checked in /local/bin/sap/printing directory but i didn't find *
.tas_queues* file under it .I was doing entire thing in A30 system , I did
the same thing in P30 using same printer but here the test print was getting
completed. i compared the file permissions of the P30 and A30 hosts and
found both are same.I am unable to locate reason behind the printing failure
.

Now, the printing is fine, but the printer printout a extra page with system text for each print request spool.
The extra page display the follow text:
User: HSINGHE
Host:hpx158
Class:
Job:000001647900001.RDM

go to the HP web site and search for 'SAP Device Types' then
search fo as device type for your new printer. Download the
Device Type and upload it into your SAP system using the
instructions on the HP web site or using Tx SPAD -> Utilities ->
Device Types -> Import.

our local printer jacdenepp427.jacde.eu.jnj.com, 10.136.134.34) prints every 3 minutes the same printout from the SAp System RPM. (see attachment ).
Please check the SAP and Unix printqueue and remove the printjob 000006414800001.RPM

On unix level when we delete this job then same issue is happening for the second print job.

Dear Gurus,
I have defined a network printer is SPAD, that uses a printer defined on an HP-UX system. The output request "waits on the host spooler" for a few minutes, the HP-UX printer is "online" and "waiting for requests", and the print job is logged in /var/adm/lp/log. Then the output request turns green and shows "completed." The HP-UX queue is clear. But nothing comes out of the printer.
The IP address has been verified, and the network people have printed the test page for the printer.
It the same scenario each time, The SAP job shows that it has completed, there are no errors, but nothing comes out of the printer.
This SAP output device worked a few months ago. However, the printer was replaced. I set up the current output device exactly the same as the old one, using only a different IP address. The printer is a Zebra printer that uses Smartforms.
What is wrong?

SAP version is 4.7 and OS version is Solairs 9.
The device type for P2015 is "ZPCL : HP Laserjet 4 series PCL-5" and access method is U.
I found an OSS note 1020775 that indicated P2015 does not work correctly in SAP. From HP site it states P2015 only ship with a limited set of PCL5 fonts. I will try to use POST2 device type to see if it will fix the problem.

Hello everybody.
I have a small problem; When we send our printouts to spooler; they are printed out correctly but we define the printers in user maintanence(su01-defaults-Output device) and if we send printouts automatically to these printers which we defined; we get more pages than normal which contains user information. How can ý fix this problem. Thank u very much Best regards

We are facing very unique problem. There are spool requests which are showing status in "Problem" but when we see in the logs in output request, Printout came out fine showing status completed(Problem). This is very confusing, Printing occuring fine but still status with red mark.
